It is given that,

→ Two numbers are in the ratio 2:3.

→ Their sum is 45.

We have to,

find the both required numbers.

Now assume numbers as,

→ 2y and 3y

As per the given information,

→ 2y + 3y = 45

First we can find the value of y,

→ 2y + 3y = 45

→ 5y = 45

→ y = 45/5

→ [y = 9]

The given ratio is,

→ 2 : 3

Let's find the value of 2y,

→ 2y --- {y = 9}

→ 2 × (9)

→ 18

Let's find the value of 3y,

→ 3y --- {y = 9}

→ 3 × (9)

→ 27

Hence, the number is 18 and 27.
